The card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear.
I have no Bible.
OBLIQUE STRATEGIES are a set of cards made by Brian Eno and Peter Schmidt :: They write,
"These cards evolved from separate observations of the principles underlying what we were doing. Sometimes they were recognized in retrospect (intellect catching up with intuition), sometimes they were identified as they were happening, sometimes they were formulated.
They can be used as a pack (a set of possibilities being continuously reviewed in the mind) or by drawing a single card from the shuffle pack when a dilemma occurs in a working situation. In this case the card is trusted even if its appropriateness is quite unclear. They are not final, as new ideas will present themselves, and others will become self-evident."
For the next one hundred or so days, I will follow these cards as my Holy Scriptures, picking them in the precise order they came to me.
A holy mantra for the day, if you will.
